You missed me and my genius blogs...understandable. Do not fret, I am back. The shenanigans for today involves the perpetual to-do list. I pondered the topic of this blog for a while... I mean I could just recap 3 or 4 months of ridiculosity, excessive trips to San Diego, Jim Gaffigan's hilarity in Phoenix, Matt Nathanson being a genius (another blog I've vowed to write), starting my adventure at Go! Web Solutions, countless endeavors....or... I can do what was suggested by my brilliant friend Kelly and use this blog as an outlet for my to-do list sprinkled with sarcastic commentary.
So like many other people I am a lister. My life doesn't seem to make sense without a list categorically separated with little self made check boxes. Yeah, I know, another neurotic tendency of mine that has been unveiled through this blog. Chalk it up.
So recently I have befriended the phrase "It's on the to-do list". So here it is:
1) put air in my tires
Time it will take: 1 min $: 75 cents
Reason I have been thinking about doing it for at least a week and not done it: I don't even know. Why would I want to? You have to stop the car at a gas station conveniently located on every corner, touch that icky air valve, and waste an entire moment of your life. A moment I would not get back.
2) put my already clean clothes that are hung on hangers into my closet
Time it will take: 4 minutes $: none
Ummmmmm yeah I got nothin
Ok those were the most obscure and seriously lazy ones... plus I got lazy about writing a bunch of stuff... the rest is just everyday to-dos or so I assume:
Learn Dreamweaver
Spend time with all of my friends
Travel the World
Adopt a rainforest
Make really good friends with a billionaire
Pay off my debt and bills in general
Become an expert Snowboarder
Be on the show Amazing Race... and win
Learn Photoshop
Become a graphic designer
Eat sushi
Eat a lot of sushi
Go skydiving... again
Learn to speak Spanish fluently
Go to Grad school
Make a to-do list...WHAT...its true, its on there
So, in general, I've got like 50 million things I want to do in life. Some things now some later, others wayyyyyy later, but nonetheless these things are all floating around in my brain. Normal right? Kinda normal at least?
Man this blog isn't very funny. I'll admit it, more of a confession of an epic madness.
(later during the same day)
The absurdity of my to-do list prompted me to get some things done. So you can feel at ease knowing my clothes are put away and my tire pressure is as it should be.
What are the wacky items on your to do list?

Please don't feel alone...I am a chronic to-do-lister myself. Does any of the million things on my lists ever get done you ask? No, not ever. Not unless there is some kind of deadline or some very agitated person repeatedly asking me and looking very disappointed. The look of disappointment gets me every time. Nevertheless, the to-do-list organization makes me feel better somehow and I'm sure I will continue to do it until the day I can no longer make perfectly square check off boxes because my hands are too old and shaky.
